Fischer will express the EBRDs strong support for Montenegro and its efforts towards closer approximation with the European Union. The development we are seeing is encouraging and the EBRD remains a committed partner to tackle the challenges ahead, particularly in the areas identified as key priorities in the ongoing dialogue between EU and Podgorica, Fischer said before his departure for Montenegro.
